The LORD's land

  

The LORD told Moses:

Leviticus 25:23

King James Version

23 The land shall not be sold for ever: 

for the land is mine, 

for ye are strangers and sojourners 

with me.

A curious thing happened last night.

The HOLY SPIRIT led me to a day-old, particular video warning those concerned not to sell, or divide, the "Covenant land" of Israel.

Pastor Tom Hughes, and former White House correspondent, Bill Koenig, gave their Biblical, prophetic reasons.

So, I go back to an article SPIRIT and I wrote in 2020, about "God's COVENANTS with Israel".

On that same page, we noticed a video link we included.

Now, here's the strange thing.

That very video, created in 2022, was ALSO on NOT dividing up the land of Israel.

It also featured Koenig again.

So I know these two videos -- nearly 32 months apart -- are related.

Significantly, the issues and errors remain the same, even as these involve two different U.S. presidents -- Biden and Trump.

I thank SPIRIT for calling my attention to both timely videos.

He's really trying to tell us something.

Actually, that was Koenig's very first appearance on pastor Hughes' show.

It seems he has this amazing ability of tying up attempts to divide Israel, with resulting dire consequences with the people, or places, involved.

In that 2022 video, Bill Koenig spoke of 126 events that rocked the world, happening within 24 hours EVERY TIME world leaders thought of dividing Israel's land.

An example would be on 28 January 2020, when president Trump introduced an idea of dividing up Israel's land this way:

-- 70% of the land of Samaria and Judea to the Palestinians

-- 30% to the Israelis

That afternoon, at around noon, 41 minutes later, a 7.7 earthquake hit the Miami financial district.

Now, we're able to "connect" something, too.

We know what happened to Trump's presidency in 2020.

"Biden won the November 2020 election, receiving 81.3 million votes (51.3 percent) to Trump's 74.2 million (46.8 percent)[364][365] and 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232."

In this second presidency, Trump presented ideas on rehabilitating Gaza.

Making it a "Riviera" of sorts.

Other Arab countries presented their own plans.

Again, Bill Koenig gives the warning NOT to divide the land of Israel.

He spoke of prophet Isaiah's Chapter 11.

We share the pertinent verses here, indicating the return of JESUS, the future of Israel, and what's to happen to Gaza:

Isaiah 11:9-10

King James Version

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy 

in all my holy mountain: 

for the earth shall be full 

of the knowledge of the Lord, 

as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, 

which shall stand for an ensign of the people;

 to it shall the Gentiles seek: 

and his rest shall be glorious.

Isaiah 11:11

King James Version

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

that the Lord shall set his hand again 

the second time to recover the remnant of his people, 

which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, 

and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, 

and from Shinar, and from Hamath, 

and from the islands of the sea.

Isaiah 11:12

King James Version

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, 

and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, 

and gather together the dispersed of Judah 

from the four corners of the earth.

Isaiah 11:13-14

King James Version

13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, 

and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: 

Ephraim shall not envy Judah, 

and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders 

of the Philistines toward the west; 

they shall spoil them of the east together: 

they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; 

and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

Isaiah 11:15-16

King James Version

15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy 

the tongue of the Egyptian sea; 

and with his mighty wind 

shall he shake his hand over the river, 

and shall smite it in the seven streams, 

and make men go over dryshod.

16 And there shall be an highway 

for the remnant of his people, 

which shall be left, from Assyria; 

like as it was to Israel in the day 

that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

Christian Answers tells us of "The Promised Land":

"The land of Canaan was promised by God to the descendants of Abraham (Genesis 12:7) and is thus referred to as The Promised Land."

"It is called “The Land of Promise” in Hebrews 11:9."

"Later this land was known as “The Land of the Hebrews” (Genesis 40:15). It is also called “The Land of the LORD,” “The Land of Jehovah (YHWH)” (Hosea 9:3; Psalm 85:1), and “The Holy land” (Zechariah 2:12). It is also called “The Land of Israel” (1 Samuel 13:19), and “The Land of Judah” (Isaiah 19:17)."

Know Israel's FULL territory, according to Scripture:

"The full territory promised as an inheritance to the seed of Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21; Numbers 34:1-12) was much greater than just the land of Canaan. It was bounded on the east by the Euphrates River, on the west by the Mediterranean Sea, on the north by the “entrance of Hamath,” and on the south by the “river of Egypt” (apparently the Nile River). This extent of territory, about 60,000 square miles, was eventually conquered by King David, and was ruled over also by his son King Solomon (2 Samuel 8; 1 Chronicles 18; 1 Kings 4:1; 1 Kings 4:21)."

-- Christian Answers

We know that Mike Huckabee, has been recently confirmed as U.S. ambassador to Israel.

We also know he's an evangelical pastor.

But president Trump has also put in a "faith" office at the White House.

And this is headed by Paula White, a Pentecostal, prosperity "pastor".

We follow apostle Paul's stand on "women pastors".

We don't know if ambassador Huckabee advised president Trump on NOT dividing Israel.

But we don't expect White to advise him about it.

What will GOD do, this time?

How will the Trump presidency fare?

How will GOD punish the world for treating Israel this way?

How will GOD respond to antisemitism?

I'm getting another "uh-oh" moment.

It's always been about Israel.

It's not about any other country.

GOD chose Israel for Himself.

Isaiah 43:21 

King James Version

21 This people have I formed for myself; 

they shall shew forth my praise.

Lastly, I've noticed sets of "11s" showing up on this post:

-- Isaiah 11

-- Isaiah 11:11

-- 11 "related material"

-- The "value" of "page views" as I published this post was "11",

Strange, how it all "tied" up.

I open my "Keys to Scripture Numerics" book, to see what number "11" stands for, and I find this:

"JUDGMENT AND DISORDER"

If I add up all the "11" values here, it's "55", and that totals "10".

The number "10" stands for:

"TESTIMONY...LAW AND RESPONSIBILITY"

GOD is really trying to tell me something.

He's given the "warnings" here.

He knows what is in men's hearts.

All the secret plans regarding Israel.

But SPIRIT, and Scripture always reveal it.

This research completes my "uh-oh" moment.

We all need to pay attention right now.

Israel is GOD's HOLY LAND.

Gaza belongs to Israel, according to GOD's laws.

The Trump, Netanyahu, and Arab governments must be advised about Bible prophecy.

Friend, or foe, every world leader must know what GOD promised Israel.

She is His HOLY nation.

There can be NO business "deals" regarding Gaza.

They must know GOD's commands regarding Israel.

She is NOT to be "touched".

Whether through wars, or land deals.

She is NOT up for "negotiation".

Zechariah 2:8

King James Version

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 

After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations 

which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you 

toucheth the apple of his eye.

Israel is NOT to be divided.

Whether it's Gaza, Judea, or Samaria.

These are not to be sold.

These are not to be bought.

These are not to be given.

These belong to GOD, and His people alone.

Deuteronomy 7:6

King James Version

6 For thou art an holy people 

unto the Lord thy God: 

the Lord thy God hath chosen thee 

to be a special people unto himself, 

above all people that are upon 

the face of the earth.

Trump is CONSISTENT

 Romans 8:31

King James Version

31 What shall we then say to these things? 

If God be for us, who can be against us?

What a find!

I had no idea I'd find that slim book today.

But SPIRIT knows my heart.

He knows I've been making sure I got Trump "right".

Character, and all.

So He led me to that book today.

And on sale yet!

"The Little Book of Trumpisms", compiled by Seth Millstein, and published in 2016 before the elections, shares Trump's quotes from 1987 to 2015.

Consider it a nugget of info on Trump's quirks, and character.

And I must tell you, Trump's been pretty much the same today about his stand on Hillary, Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Putin, immigration, business, global warming, his opponents, Japan, the Middle East, etc.

If you must know, I laughed mostly.

Because only Trump can deliver it like it is.

In his own, inimitable way.

He's outspoken, that's a given.

He doesn't like losers, and losing.

He says he likes to "whine", until he "wins".

He says money was never a "big motivation".

It was merely to "keep score".

"Playing the game" was what really got him going.

He didn't mince words about men, women, media, and opponents, who gave him a difficult time.

He's a stickler for common sense, so you can imagine his reaction to non-action, and purposed foolishness.

Perhaps, my favorite, and I shall share the quote here, is this:

"Tell me, how is it possible that we can't find a guy who's six foot six and supposedly needs a dialysis machine?"

-- "On Osama Bin Laden", Esquire, August 2004

That's quintessential Trump.

That's his very essence.

Practical.

Down-to-earth.

Commonsensical.

Uproarious.

And consequently, iconic.

Definitely news-worthy.

Of course, he's not perfect.

Neither are any of us.

But GOD chose him to be president in 2024.

The LORD knows something we don't.

And as you can see, president Trump is working real hard.

He knows Washington better now.

His foes, and friends, have revealed themselves.

He and his team are doing their best to undo many past administrations' impractical policies.

No matter the attacks on his person.

Many probably can't stand his words, and ways, but perhaps, he's toned down a bit, this second time around.

First, he's older.

Second, pastors have warned him to go easy on cussing.

Third, maybe he realizes  "GOD's GRACE" gave him another chance to continue his reforms.

People voted for him because they wanted "change".

Would he be able to implement all his reforms?

We see how DEFIANT dino Dems refuse to cooperate.

We see how 95% media castigate him.

But for the GRACE of GOD, president Trump couldn't pull it off.

He's been allowed this second chance.

"Love him, or hate him, GOD chose him"

Perhaps, his personality is what the world needs right now.

Considering how it's gone woke, left, and DEI.

Which makes no sense at all.

What Trump fought for in 1987, are the same things he's fighting for now.

Sure, he changed a few things.

Like not wanting to run for president.

And he eventually did.

THRICE yet.

It's a privilege in Washington.

To change minds.

Change alliances.

With lots of posturing.

And lobbying.

That's the nature of politics.

Except, Trump is also a businessman.

And that's what gets their goat.

He's a successful businessman.

Unapologetic in his ways.

I trust the GOD Who appointed Trump.

He chose this president for a reason.

Trump knows his life was "spared", for a reason.

Well, he's president again.

We were right in our articles, and observations.

That little book proved it.

All the other books he wrote proved it.

He's not shy of what he has accomplished.

He's not shy of what he can do.

He's not shy of who he is.

And possibly, this is the president the world needs.

The world's gone woke, and wimpy.

We need a tough-talking president.

Who loves entertaining us, too.

And especially loves "action".

We don't know his true beliefs about GOD.

Whether he's Presbyterian, or born again.

Or maybe a compendium of many faiths.

We just know he acknowledged GOD spared his life.

And put a "faith" office in the White House.

Even if we think it should be run by a man of GOD.

And not a Pentecostal, "prosperity" woman "pastor".

In the book, he was quoted as getting along" better with women".

Still, GOD minds.

Especially when it's his gospel, and His church, that's involved.

GOD has laws.

Apostle Paul pointed out something about "women pastors".

And if you've studied this apostle, you'd know he's also no-nonsense.

Well, we've been "appointed" to "look after" Trump.

We are his "secret service", in service to GOD.

SPIRIT and I make sure the president stays on "track" --

"Should he get all proud, and forgetful."

-- "LOOKING after TRUMP"

Trump jokes that he's been on more covers than models.

And maybe that's true.

Love him, or hate him, he "sells".

The media feeds on his outrageousness.

And he milks it, too, for his own purposes.

Though, oftentimes, the media shows disrespect.

And that's when he minds.

At this stage in his life, he's got the power he's wanted.

But he also works on getting America respected again.

Only a Trump could pull it off.

By now, he's used to critics.

Those who will never love him.

He's sad about that.

But he just has to keep going.

There's so much time lost since Clinton.

And I won't tell you about what he said of Clinton's "woman".

That's for you to find in the book.

I hope you could get a copy.

SPIRIT led me to one, at a thrift shop.

Trump hasn't really changed much.

Everything that was in his heart, remains to this day.

The only difference being, some "characters" changed.

Like Japan became China.

Obama became Biden.

Hillary became Kamala.

But Trump remains Trump.

FIVE months after

 

Matthew 9:37-38

King James Version

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, 

The harvest truly is plenteous, 

but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, 

that he will send forth labourers 

into his harvest.

It's nearly been five months since we first wrote "Under NO illusion".

SPIRIT and I wrote that on 27 November 2024.

Just 22 days before, GOD made Trump win.

Now, we reviewed what we wrote there.

And thought it important to share it again with you.

For our thoughts remain the same -- we remain vigilant.

These excerpts apply, more than ever:

"It's been five years since GOD led me to your country.

That was also the day He made me born again.

Only as born again could I understand Scripture.

For the LORD GOD sent His SPIRIT to teach me His WORD.

Our 111 blogs, and 22 spiritual warfare books, covered the areas Satan was attacking.

And we haven't covered everything yet.

We were warning you every day.

We were warning the world every day."

To this day, we're not done yet.

All the more we're at our "post".

Watching, waiting, writing, warning, worshiping.

Soon after Trump won, GOD gave us another set of verses.

To warn him, too.

Lest he get "all proud and forgetful".

Always be vigilant, and watchful.

Never be complacent.

That's the very thing Satan waits for.

Your sense of being at ease, and comfortable.

Never let your "guard" down.

We are in the end times now.

Trump won, through GOD's GRACE.

But he's got much to do, to rehabilitate America.

May his team be one with him.

May the outgoing administration not sabotage his efforts.

May the American people give him their full support, and cooperation.

Trump knows he's been given another chance to help you.

As well as redeem himself.

Give him that chance.

GOD chose him.

May it be a smooth transition, as Biden promised.

May Trump and team, and America, be ONE with GOD.

May the world give Trump their support.

GOD is our only true sense of security.

Through the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

"It's nearly been five months since we first wrote Under NO illusion."

"It's been five years since GOD led me to your country."

FIVE actions -- "Watching, waiting, writing, warning, worshiping".

We unknowingly presented FIVE sets of excerpts from that article.

What's with the number "FIVE"?

Why does it keep presenting itself here?

Ed F. Vallowe's "Keys to Scripture Numerics" tells us what the number "5" represents:

"GRACE OR GOD'S GOODNESS"

It certainly is.

We did write:

"Trump won, through GOD's GRACE."

We are all still on earth, because of GOD's GRACE.

When, at any moment, the Rapture could occur.

We still have a chance to follow what JESUS commanded:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

P.S. 

This post happens to be our 100th post for this 112th blog.

We like taking note of our progress each day.

Making sure we're always aligned with GOD's will.

All GLORY to GOD alone!

"Keys to Scripture Numerics" says "100" stands for:

"GOD'S ELECTION OF GRACE..

CHILDREN OF PROMISE"

There's that "GRACE" again.

ANTIDOTE to ignorance

 

Romans 7:24

King James Version

24 O wretched man that I am! 

who shall deliver me 

from the body of this death?

The world loves tangible.

They want something "concrete".

Is it any wonder they've turned to "idols"?

They've occupied themselves with "empty" stuff.

And have sinned greatly against the LORD, in the process.

In the Old Testament, they had gold, wood, and stone idols.

They had their "groves".

Something that angered GOD greatly.

Idolatry was an abomination to GOD.

1 Kings 14:15

King James Version

15 For the Lord shall smite Israel, 

as a reed is shaken in the water, 

and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, 

which he gave to their fathers, 

and shall scatter them beyond the river, 

because they have made their groves, 

provoking the Lord to anger.

In today's world, people look to other people, to "idolize".

They also want to be idolized.

They look to "influencers".

They look to face, fame, and fortune.

They hanker for material possessions.

They desire to be famous.

They desire to "rule".

They want to be "liked".

They've forgotten GOD.

They don't know JESUS.

They have no idea the HOLY SPIRIT's power.

They're focused on "status", 

not SPIRIT.

They want something they can "grasp".

Whether literally, or symbolically.

Thing is, SPIRIT cannot be grasped.

Precisely why people resist.

Or are lazy to know more about SPIRIT.

And yet, if you found what I've found, you'll marvel no end.

We have 112 blogs, thousands of articles, and 24 ebooks as proof.

SPIRIT is not tangible.

He is "Unseen".

JESUS describes the HOLY SPIRIT:

John 14:17 

King James Version

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

He also describes SPIRIT in those born again:

John 3:8

King James Version

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one 

that is born of the Spirit.

Unless GOD makes you born again, you will not understand Scripture.

You will not be able to unravel its astounding "treasures".

You will not know how to rightly interpret the Bible.

You need SPIRIT, to teach you about JESUS.

For JESUS will teach you about GOD.

If people suffer a lot today, it's mainly for ignorance.

No thanks to Satan's influence, and programming.

But there's a cure.

SPIRIT is the "antidote" to ignorance.

Satan keeps you in ignorance.

SPIRIT keeps you in TRUTH.

Merriam-Webster defines "antidote" here:

: a remedy to counteract the effects of poison

: something that relieves, prevents, or counteracts

Consider SPIRIT as a "reversal agent".

Something to "counteract" with.

JESUS speaks of the "Spirit of truth":

John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

The "Spirit of truth" accomplishes these:

John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

The world is bereft of TRUTH.

You need SPIRIT to teach you about GOD, JESUS, Scripture, CHRIST's enemy, and GOD's laws.

GOD is the LIVING WATERS

JESUS is the BREAD of LIFE.

SPIRIT is the BREATH of LIFE.

The TRIUNE GOD is the ONLY Source of TRUE Sustenance.

Your ONLY SOURCE of peace, love, joy, truth, happiness, contentment, and SALVATION.

We all need saving.

We need to be saved from ourselves, from sin, from each other, from Satan, and from ignorance.

We have no idea the danger we are all in.

ESPECIALLY in these END times.

And as the Rapture hovers.

Why do people drink alcohol?

They don't call them "spirits" for nothing.

Why do people take drugs?

They want a "high".

Why do people go to mountaintops?

They want to experience "exhilaration".

And yet, they all "tumble", after these lose its initial "kick".

The "spirits", the "high", the "exhilaration" is but temporary.

What people are really seeking is SPIRIT.

The ULTIMATE High, which ONLY GOD can give.

Isaiah 57:15

King James Version

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One 

that inhabiteth eternity, 

whose name is Holy; 

I dwell in the high and holy place, 

with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, 

to revive the spirit of the humble, 

and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

People want something that lasts.

They feel miserable because no one tells them truth.

They are deceived all the time.

They are taken advantage of most of the time.

They don't know who to trust anymore.

You need GOD's SPIRIT to fill this "emptiness" you have.

You will be released from the "prison" of your flesh.

Galatians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, 

ye are not under the law.

I'm able to write all these, because GOD made me born again.

He anointed me with His SPIRIT.

I am ignorant no longer.

With SPIRIT comes knowledge.

The kind you can trust.

The CRUSHED cherub

1 Peter 1:3-4

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God 

and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, 

and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

He thought he had destroyed JESUS forever.

Thinking the LORD's death, and burial, would be it.

Satan had no idea the power of the Resurrection.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

King James Version

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

That became the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST.

The day Satan fell, was the day he lost all privilege.

JESUS was witness to that "fall".

Luke 10:18

King James Version

18 And he said unto them, 

I beheld Satan as lightning 

fall from heaven.

After that fall, how could he become "privy" to GOD's plans?

Why would GOD ever trust him again?

He had already incited rebellion.

He wanted GOD's Throne.

Talking about ambition.

And disrespect.

Not to mention, betrayal.

As if GOD would allow such.

His "insurrection" was defeated by the "RESURRECTION".

Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;

Through the Resurrection, JESUS conquered the "last enemy":

1 Corinthians 15:26

King James Version

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed 

is death.

JESUS not only conquered death.

He also conquered the perpetrator of death.

Can you imagine Satan's rage?

Feeling "tricked", and all.

Now, his destiny was certain.

Revelation 20:1-3

King James Version

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, 

having the key of the bottomless pit 

and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, 

that old serpent, 

which is the Devil, and Satan, 

and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, 

and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, 

that he should deceive the nations no more, 

till the thousand years should be fulfilled: 

and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Revelation 20:7-8

King James Version

7 And when the thousand years are expired, 

Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations 

which are in the four quarters of the earth, 

Gog, and Magog, 

to gather them together to battle: 

the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Revelation 20:10

King James Version

10 And the devil that deceived them 

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, 

where the beast and the false prophet are, 

and shall be tormented day and night 

for ever and ever.

Just shows GOD's power over everything.

How can Satan fight the One Who Created him?

How can he have squandered his divine standing?

He was a beautiful cherub once.

Ezekiel 28:12-15

King James Version

12 Son of man, take up a lamentation 

upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, 

Thus saith the Lord God; 

Thou sealest up the sum, 

full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; 

every precious stone was thy covering, 

the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, 

the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, 

the sapphire, the emerald, 

and the carbuncle, and gold: 

the workmanship of thy tabrets 

and of thy pipes was prepared in thee 

in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; 

and I have set thee so: 

thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; 

thou hast walked up and down 

in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways 

from the day that thou wast created, 

till iniquity was found in thee.

Satan was totally deluded.

How can he destroy JESUS, Who was with GOD, right from the start?

John 17:5

King James Version

5 And now, O Father, 

glorify thou me with thine own self 

with the glory which I had with thee 

before the world was.

It had to take JESUS -- through the Resurrection -- to defeat the devil.

All according to GOD's will.

And plan.

Now, believers have the promise of the Resurrection:

Hosea 6:1-2

King James Version

6 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: 

for he hath torn, and he will heal us; 

he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 After two days will he revive us: 

in the third day he will raise us up, 

and we shall live in his sight.

As well as have ETERNAL LIFE, with JESUS.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

Of course, Satan always wants to "pervert" everything.

Look what he tried to do with CHRIST's "Resurrection":
